Finally Floating Again!

Happy Independence day to all of my American furiends and Happy Caturday to evfurryone else!

After 10 days on the hard, in the boat yard, we’re finally floating again! I’m so happy! It was an eventful week and a half with all the the work we’ve been doing and my… um… accident! If you missed it I will let you just catch up here and here, but I’m happy to say that I’m not in any pain now and back to my usual naughty inquisitive self! I think it was the dew claw that I hurt rather than a bone, because I honestly feel pawesome now.

Except, that is, for the heat. Today it was 35°C (95°F) by 10AM! By lunchtime when we in the process of putting Nocturne back in the water, it was a whopping 40°C (104°F)! I honestly thought I was going to spontaneously combust! I was so hot that I even asked the humans for a cold shower. They poured a glass of nice cold water over me slowly and rubbed it into my fur to help me cool down. I rubbed them gratefully afterwards to return the favour but they didn’t seem to like that. Humans! It’s back down to 35°C now so it’s still very hot but I can breath which is a bonus!

As promised here are some photos of Nocturne looking fabulous with her fresh coats of anti-fouling!

We enjoyed a beautiful sail home to the marina and are now just getting settled back into the floating life. I hope you’re all keeping cool and having a pawesome weekend!

Nocturne looks beautiful all cleaned up and I’m glad you are back on the water. Hope that you keep cool & that all is well as you settle back in. Glad to hear that your paw feels better and that you are back to your “normal” self!

Nocturne is such a beautiful boat, and now that she is painted with a fresh coat of paint, she is really beautiful. I enjoyed all of your adventures on the hard, glad you are back in the water though. You sure have been having some hot weather. 105o near the water, i can’t even imagine, We had a full week of 115o couple of weeks ago. I don’t want to see that again. Your humans were so thoughtful to give you a cool water bath. You are surely love.

Nocturne looks pawsome. With all the work Dad James has recently done, it must be like having a brand new boat. We know how excited y’all are to be back in the water. We are so delighted that your paw is better and you are not in any pain, our dearest brofur! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
